"Launch" Seeking tips - advice. (long)
Hope some of you experienced drivers will share info or tips on the best procedures to follow for a good launch at the quarter mile. I'm talking about testing the car I have, not about how many mods I could bolt onto it. The car is in Users Rides with the following additions presently being installed. Sub-Frame connectors, Traction Masters, Currie TSD 8 inch.
I did some initial short test runs in a deserted parking lot so there would be something to compare against. (289-4V /C4 /stock converter) With brakes applied, could get 1800 to 2000 RPM before stall. Then one tire easily broke loose. Hope the Currie will help here. Is this the right way or should less RPM's be used to reduce the spin? I received good advice from a MustangWorks user that with street tires I should by-pass the burn out pit. Just want to change from the "Never Run It" class so feel free to offer advice. Thanks, Lou |
